After the five hundred Beiwei cavalry were transported across the Wei River by Zhang Heng's navy, Zhang Heng invited Yue Fei to his water village for a while. Yue Fei and Zhang Heng were speculative, and they all had the heart to make friends with each other. Yue Fei readily agreed. Ordered Hua Ruyu to temporarily rest the Beiwei army outside the village, and led Ji Qian and more than ten other personal soldiers to follow Zhang Heng onto the big boat and head towards the low mountain.

Zhang Heng's water village is under the low mountain, and there is also a camp on the mountain, which is the place where Zhang Heng's water army stays. There are now more than 200 boats in the water village, more than 10 large ships, and the rest are hazy and small boats. There are more than 1,000 sailors, most of whom are young and strong from nearby villages. The task of Zhang Heng's navy is to protect the people in the vicinity, and if it is attacked by thieves, the navy will put on armor to protect the village.

Out of the water village, up the hill, Zhang Heng pointed to a cemetery on the mountain and said, "This is the tomb of Ran Min, the king of martial mourning." Yue Fei was in awe when he heard this, and immediately went to pay homage. When worshipping, the demeanor is solemn, as if worshipping the gods.

During the Wuhu Rebellion, the Hu people regarded the Han people in the Central Plains as two-legged sheep, killing and eating, and tens of millions of Han people turned into white bones in Dingzhong. Fortunately, Ran Min drew his sword and rose up, issuing an order to kill Hu, "Six Yi inside and outside, and those who dare to call it a staff will be killed", killing the most brutal of the five Hu. Although Ran Min was defeated and captured by the Xianbei Murong clan with a chain of horses, the bloody revenge of the Han people finally made the Hu people frightened, and they no longer dared to kill and poke wantonly, and finally made the Han people survive the darkest period. It's a pity that the name of Ran Min is almost not seen in the history books.

Zhang Heng saw Yue Fei admiring Ran Min so much, and couldn't help sighing, "Ran Tianwang has contributed to the Han people, but he has not been allowed to be a scholar. I often see slander in the history books. Some people regard him as a traitor to Shi Zhao, and some people regard him as a big crime to do things for Shi Zhao, is it necessary for a beast dynasty like Shi Zhao to exist in the world? ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. King Ran saved my Han people from peril, and the people will never forget. As for scholars, they are just some grass on the wall when they are strong. It is not surprising that a beast dynasty like Shi Zhao can be regarded as orthodox by them. Just like the literati who are now throwing themselves into the golden dog, they only have glory and wealth in their eyes, but they have no backbone and no conscience. I am very kind to these scholars, but when they saw that the golden dog was powerful, they still took refuge one after another. ”

Zhang Heng sighed and asked, "Don't hide it from General Yue, there are also scholars who came to persuade me to join the Jin Kingdom, and I killed and abandoned them in Weihe." But there was a scholar who laughed at me before he died, I didn't know the general trend of the world, I didn't understand the principle of the cycle of five virtues, the Jin Dynasty Song is the Mandate of Heaven, Song is the Fire De, Jin is the Water De, the Song De is declining, and the Jin Dechang is the Chang. When I rebelled against the Kingdom of Jin, I resisted the Mandate of Heaven. I, Zhang Heng, am a rough man, although I killed him with a knife, I was upset by him. Could it be that the golden dog is really the destiny of the Great Song on my behalf? Could it be that I, the tens of millions of people of the Great Song Dynasty, really want to become slaves of the golden dog? I heard that General Yue is literate and hyphenated, and I hope that General Yue will solve my doubts. ”

Zhang Heng said this, his face was heavy. It seems that the dead scholar's theory of the cycle of five virtues has caused him a lot of confusion. Now standing in front of Ran Min's tomb, Zhang Heng asked a question that heroes and heroes of all generations wanted to ask. Since the theory of the cycle of five virtues came out, whenever a foreign invasion occurs, the heroes of the Central Plains not only have to fight with foreign tribes, but also fight with the Mandate of Heaven in the mouth of Confucianism. Those who are not strong-willed will surrender to foreign tribes and help them in their abuse. Because his rebellion is against the sky, so why not act against the sky? Therefore, many surrenderers not only feel at ease, but also can call the rebels a thief who does not know the destiny of heaven, and gain a sense of spiritual superiority. Although their master is obviously a brute who drinks blood. They can still kneel under the high gate and shout long live.

Yue Fei scolded, "Bullshit! The cycle of five virtues is one of the most smelly bullshit made up by those shameless scholars. What kind of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, it's all nonsense. Brother Zhang, does he know where the theory of five virtues comes from? ”

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhang is a rough man, and I really don't know where the theory of the five virtues came from. ”

Yue Fei said, "The theory of the five virtues, although it is named after Yanhuang, is actually nonsense. It's just that Qin Zhuang Gong destroyed Zhou, a candidate country, destroyed the original co-owner of the world, in order to block the mouth of the world, he asked Fang Shi to make up a bullshit. Later, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the so-called Confucian master, in fact, Dong Zhongshu, who was also a scholar, compiled this cycle of five virtues into a complete set of theories. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of Qinzhuang was smart, he didn't know that what the monks gave them was a desperate plan. As soon as the theory of the cycle of five virtues appeared, the change of dynasty became an inevitable result. Whenever the dynasty declines, the first thing the Central Plains heroes think about is not to turn the tide and save this troubled world, but how to make the troubled times more chaotic, and how to call the king and emperor in the troubled times. Anyway, the cycle of five virtues, the fire virtue has declined, and it is naturally the water virtue, and the water virtue has declined, and it is naturally the soil virtue. In the face of foreign invasion, the Confucian generals shouted the theory of the cycle of five virtues, surrendering to foreigners in batches, without any psychological burden. ”

Zhang Heng thought for a while, and suddenly understood why the slain Confucian despised his appearance before he died. It turned out that he was brainwashed by this cycle of five virtues, and he thought he was conforming to the mandate of heaven, and he saw himself as a traitor who didn't know the mandate of heaven. Zhang Heng asked, "General Yue, listening to you say this, the cycle of five virtues is really harmless and not beneficial, why have all dynasties never abolished it, but instead hyped it up?" ”

Yue Fei smiled and asked Zhang Heng, "Brother Zhang, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Heng thought for a moment, and then muttered, "I understand, I understand." ”

Ji Qian scratched her head beside her and said, "Brother Yue, I don't understand. You explain it to me. ”

Yue Fei shook his head at Ji Qian, indicating that he was speechless for Ji Qian's stupidity. Zhang Heng said beside him, "General Ji, although this theory of the cycle of five virtues is absurd, it is beneficial to the royal family and the family. They certainly won't be abolished. Think about it, the Qin Dynasty Zhou, the Han Dynasty Qin, and so on, that dynasty didn't overthrow the previous dynasty under the theory of the cycle of five virtues? This is the foundation of their state, and they certainly will not abolish this theory. What's more, this theory is beneficial to the family. With the support of the whole world's great families, the emperor did not dare to abolish this theory. ”

Yue Fei said, "When Xia Shang was in the Wednesday Dynasty, Xia had no way, and Shang was fighting. There is no way to do business, and Zhou will be destroyed. They don't talk about the cycle of the five virtues, they only talk about the Tao and the non-Tao. There is no way to be a faint king, and everyone can be killed. There is a king of the way, and the world does not dare to cut down. The law of destroying the country is not only about violence, but also about morality. But Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and broke this rule. The Qin State conquered the six countries with its troops and ruled the world with violence. Everyone regards Qin Shi Huang as an ancestral dragon, but they don't know that as soon as the ancestral dragon comes out, the world suffers. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the king had power, but he could not kill people at will. A king can kill a minister, and a minister can kill a king. As soon as the Qin Law came out, the whole world, except for the emperor. All are slaves. Even if you are the prime minister, the emperor will kill if he wants. How can such a nation survive forever? Given the chance, there must be many people who want to overthrow it. After the overthrow, thinking of the glory of the previous emperor, the successor naturally would not tie his hands and feet, so he continued to regard the people of the world as slaves. Change of dynasty, as for today. ”

Yue Fei saw that Zhang Heng and the others could listen attentively, smiled slightly, and continued, "So strictly speaking, those who disturb the world are neither the cycle of five virtues, nor the people of the world, but the emperor's own family. Without the support of the royal family, the cycle of five virtues would have been spurned into mud. Qin Shi Huang is regarded as an emperor through the ages, but he does not know that Yan and Zhao are two small countries, but they can overwhelm Qianghu and expand the land for thousands of miles. And the great Qin Shi Huang wanted to build the Great Wall to block the Hu people. Could it be that Qin's soldiers were not enough to wipe out the Hu people? Definitely. It's just that most of the soldiers will be placed in the country to suppress the people's resistance. In fact, not only the Qin Dynasty, whether it is the Han or Tang Dynasties, with the courage of the generals and the elite of the soldiers when the founding of the country, it is not difficult to expand the land for thousands of miles. But as soon as they sat on the emperor's throne, the first thing they thought about was to put the swords and guns in the warehouse, and the horses to put them in Nanshan. Because of what? Because they are afraid that they will make too many meritorious contributions, and their merits will be high. Since the Qin Dynasty, the world is no longer the world of the people of the world, but the private property of one person and one surname. Those who make meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who make great contributions will be punished. Huaiyin waited for what a great achievement, but was killed. What talent do the Liu Bang people have, but they can be crowned kings by everyone. Because Liu Bang regarded the world as his family's private property. Huaiyin waits for not dying, what to do! ”

Thinking of this, Yue Fei thought of his ending in the original history, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Zhang Heng looked at Ran Min's tombstone, was silent for a while, and asked again, "General Yue may crack this dead loop?" ”

Yue Fei didn't answer, just said a famous quote that poured out of his memory. "Whoever has no land in the world and finds peace, he is the king. It is to poison the liver and brain of the world, and to separate the children of the world, in order to win my own industry, it was not miserable, and the day: I am solid for the children and grandchildren to start a business. Its vested also, knocking off the marrow of the world, separating the children of the world, to serve me alone, as a matter of course, day: the flower of my industry also. However, for the great harm of the world, you are just the king!"

Although Zhang Heng said that he didn't know much, Yue Fei's words were easy to understand, so he understood it very clearly. Zhang Heng pulled out the Pu knife on his waist and said angrily, "For the harm of the world, you are just the king." King Ran died on his throne. Once he was proclaimed emperor, the Quartet attacked him, but he killed Li Nong again, and the beggar army left, and it was difficult to support it alone, and Fang was killed by Xianbei dog thieves. Ran Tianwang is confused. ”

Yue Fei said, "In any case, without King Ran, the Han people would have been wiped out. As for being the emperor, it is not surprising that Ran Tianwang grew up in the sludge, and naturally he was also contaminated by the mud. "Actually, what Yue Fei wants to say is that if I hadn't received the memories of Yue Xiaofei, the descendants of later generations, I wouldn't have understood the dangers of the imperial system. Of course, he couldn't have said that.

In fact, if Yue Fei's theories were to be heard by Confucian scholars, they would definitely be able to refute Yue Fei to the point of incompleteness. For example, the Great Wall has already begun to be repaired by Yan Zhao. For example, the children of the scattered world, I am happy to be alone, it is estimated that it started with the Yellow Emperor. But Zhang Hengjiqian and the others didn't understand this, so they were persuaded by Yue Fei. They began to hate the emperors of the past dynasties, and they no longer had the same respect as before.

Zhang Heng suddenly asked, "General Yue, is it okay to have no emperor in the world?" ”

Yue Fei thought for a moment before he said, "Of course it's better without an emperor. But if there is an emperor, the power of the emperor must be limited. It is necessary to use the law to stop certain acts of the emperor. If you can't stop it, you can depose him like Zhou Gongliu became a king, and Yi Yin chased Taijia and set up a new king. Anyway, you can't let him cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wants. Hope must not be pinned on the personal morality of the emperor. Shang Ying's rule of law was very good, but his prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, but he was wrong. ”

Zhang Heng asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yue Fei said, "The fault is that his upper limit is too low. He should say that the Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. ”

Zhang Heng was shocked and said, "Who in this world dares to condemn the emperor?" ”

Yue Fei sneered, "If you didn't have it before, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future." ”

Zhang Hengzhong looked at Yue Fei carefully for a while, and asked, "Only people who don't want to be emperors will think about limiting the emperor's power. I once heard that General Yue implemented the village elder system in Yingtianfu to allow the villagers to govern themselves, but in just a few months, Yingtianfu became a paradise in troubled times. At the beginning, I thought that the general was an ambitious person, just like Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty, who sold his reputation and reputation only for him to become emperor one day. At this moment, seeing that the general hated the imperial system, General Fang Xin was really for the people of the world. I, Zhang Heng, am willing to follow General Yue, fight against the golden dogs, exterminate the corrupt officials, and return justice to the people of the Central Plains. ”

Yue Fei laughed and said, "I have always admired General Zhang's ability to fight water. How happy it is to get General Zhang today. Let's defeat the golden dog and save our people under the blessing of King Ran. ”

At noon at this time, the strong sunlight shone on Ran Min's tombstone, and the bluestone inscription was shining, as if Ran Min's heroic soul also showed a will, and he wanted to work with Yue Fei and Zhang Heng to kill Jin Yu and create peace.
